It's Divinity: Original Sin 2. That's The Red Prince on the left. It's a highly frustrating game with annoying mechanics and turn-based combat.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has a metacritic score of 92 and overwhelmingly positive user reviews on steam. It is considered by many to be one of the best role-playing games of all time.

And? It has negative reviews too. I'm sure many people loved it, but many others didn't. And there are many more who never played it because they didn't like the original or heard bad things. Sequels are more likely to be purchased by people who liked the original game.

Edit: You fanboys are something else. Downvote reality all you want, other people are allowed to have opinions too.

And?

And that shows that you are obviously in the minority with your opinion. Most people who played Divinity 2 gave it a positive rating, so many even that it got the excellent ratings I linked before.

Sequels are more likely to be purchased by people who liked the original game.

I never played the original game and anyway liked Divinity 2 a lot. I think it's an outstanding rpg and recommend it to anyone interested in the genre. If you don´t like it that´s fine but don´t present your individual opinion as being objective.

So, my opinion is invalid, but yours is okay? Think about the base that is likely to play this game. I'm sure most of them have the same opinion as you. When it comes time review, they would probably like it.

You, however, are using biased sampling (people who bought the game, and people paid to play games) and an echo chamber to conclude that your viewpoint is the only valid one. Do you see the flaw here?

What about people who don't like what you like? They're not spending $50 on a game they don't like. I tried DOS (1 & 2) because of the reviews and my live for games like Baldur's Gate and Pillars. But this game series wasn't for me and I'm allowed to say so.

they were just offering a second viewpoint given that yours was the only one present below their comment at the time 😅

it's a turn based old school rpg. of course it isn't for everyone...

if you like any turn based old school rpgs there's a good chance this is worth a shot.
